Big Ricks were so proud to be a small part of the Mayor`s Civic awards., Walsall as town always seems to get bad press locally, yes things are tough for the people of Walsall ,and yes maybe some of things that are reported are dissevered we don`t know, But going from what we witness on Friday night the town has some amazing people in it, doing some incredible things , for their local community . Achievements  that never get reported.!!, Achievements  that would go unnoticed and unrewarded  if it was not for The Mayors Civic Awards.. Well all we can say is that Big Ricks are Proud to be part of The Town of Walsall, and we are Proud to represent  Walsall when ever we swim around the UK...;-)
